One way to immerse meeting
attendees into the local surroundings and culture is to send them out
to explore the neighborhood. Or you
can bring the neighborhood to them.

With an average humidity level of

77 percent, moisture is rarely in
short supply in Phuket. Fresh water,
however, can be. Which is why the

JW MARRIOTT PHUKET RESORT

& SPA has come up with an innovative, first-of-its-kind solution to
extract water from the virtually
unlimited source of humidity in the
air, filter it, add essential minerals
and distribute it as drinkable water
in reusable glass bottles. Partnering
with Generation Water, the resort
produces more than 4,000 liters
( 1,000 gallons) of mineralized drinking water and has prevented more
than 100,000 plastic bottles from
entering local landfills and oceans.

The next time you “drink in the air” in
Phuket, it just may be out of a bottle.

When it opens later this summer in August, ICE will still be the main attraction in Alberta,
where the JW MARRIOTT EDMONTON ICE DISTRICT will embrace this chilly element
in the warmest of ways. The ICE Menu, which will be available through in-room dining, will
feature curated styles of ice cubes to suit every beverage, from natural-flavor-infused clear
globes for a slow melt into a signature cocktail to icy shavings for a quick chill on sparkling
water. The country’s third JW Marriott is part of the largest mixed-use sports and entertainment district in Canada, anchored by the home of the city’s beloved hockey team.
